Yes, My Love Story!!! I watched the anime and loved it. Probably one of my all time fave shoujo anime.
I hadn’t heard of Worst Holiday before but I’m definitely adding it to my TBR now, thanks!!
And wow that is a ton of adds O.O’ Good luck 🙂

Awww, yay! Now I’m double excited for it. I’ll have to see if my library has it and if not I’ll throw it on my WL to remind myself to order it in the new year (trying not to buy anything else this month haha!). And yeah, I added WAAAAY TOO MUCH this week. It’s funny how this meme is slowly actually making me add less just because I don’t want to make my lists any longer than they already are. 😂

Hahaha whatever keeps us more accountable on our adds, right??? I will say, I do like looking over what I’ve added over the week. Sometimes I even remove books that I can’t remember or now have different feelings for. So, it is helping 🙂

sldkfjlskjfd your posts always look so amazing &&&& i just love you so muchhhhh ❤ there are so many good books listed here!!!!!???????????

two people have rec'd Verity to me so far, because I love romance, but i'm scared it's not going to have a fluffy ending? i don't think I can physically take a non-fluffy ending at this point in my life,,,,i'm literally a sad puddle of tears.

+++ I have an ARC for Like a Love Story but i'm avoiding it at all costs because i feel like it will stab me in the heart?????? i'm such a mess lsdkjf *hides*

Ooooh yeah, I don’t think Verity has a fluffy ending from the reviews I’m seeing because I keep people saying “this was the biggest mindfuck ever” and “this destroyed me” soooo I’m not sure. 😦 If I read it before you I’ll try to remember to let you know??

Oh noooo it does look so painful but SO GOOD 😭 why do good books do this to us

I didn’t know Sarah Glenn Marsh had written another book either, I thought Reign of the Fallen was a debut.
I vote for Forest of a Thousand Lanterns! It’s polarizing because it’s slow, but I really liked it anyway – it’s the only villain origin story I’ve read so far that convinced me, and I both loved and hated the main character. An Ember in the Ashes is also a solid first book. I hope you like them!

I totally thought Reign was a debut for the longest time and when I saw this I was like, “Oh, how did I miss her revealing her next book—WAIT A SECOND” hahaha. And thank you for voting! I’ll just count both votes because they both sound good from what you said! 😀

I’ve been hearing great things about Forest of a Thousand Lanterns, especially since the sequel is out (or out soon, I’m not sure which), so the buzz has been high again. I’ve been curious about it too and thinking of bumping it up my tbr.

Thank you for voting!! When I was making this week’s ‘lows’ list I was kind of secretly like “I kind of hope ember wins because I really need to read it” 😂 So far it’s looking good for it. And yesss, the Chain of Gold cover KILLS ME

I really liked Words on Bathroom Walls! It’s in a journal format, which sometimes I feel doesn’t work…but for this one I loved the MC’s voice so it was amazing. 😍 Also vERY emotional. Ahh! And I’m so excited for If It Makes You Happy and Let’s Call It Doomsday! *flails*

I vote for Ember in the Ashes! I think the audio book is spectacular 🙂 She isn’t afraid to get gritty and not let characters be happy. I also think I need to give Fear the Drowning Deep another chance; I think I read it too fast back in the day. Love this list!
